Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
