Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most 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 labouring, toilworn, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
