Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
