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 humiliated, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
