Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
