Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-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 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
