Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
