Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
