Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
