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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the hills, how they are 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 whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
