Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy 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 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
