Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most 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, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
