Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
