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 humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
