Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming 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 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set forth 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
