Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
