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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 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 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
