Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering 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, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
