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 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
