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 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 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 aloft? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
