Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
