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 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
