Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
