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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
