Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
