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 laboring, wornout, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
