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 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set forth 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
