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 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
