Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about 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 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
