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 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
