Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
