Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
