Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Yet, going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
