Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
