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 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
