Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
