Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
