Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 given 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 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
