Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
