Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
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 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
