Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 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? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
