Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
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 Laboring, toiling, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 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 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
