Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
