Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
