Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
