Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
