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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
