Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
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 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
