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 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
