Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
