Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
