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, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets set forth 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
