Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 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 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
