Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
