Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming 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 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
