Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, 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 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
