Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about 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 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
