Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached 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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
