Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
