Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of 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 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
