Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, 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 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
