Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, 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 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
