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 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us they will all return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
