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 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
