Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
