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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
