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 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
