Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And 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 their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
