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 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
