Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the 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, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
