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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
