Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
