Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about 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 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
