Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of 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 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
