Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
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 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
