Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
