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, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
