Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
