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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
