Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
