Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
