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 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
