Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, 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 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
