Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
