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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
