Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
