Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
