Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 In which are high thrones. 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
