Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
