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 on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 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 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
