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 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
