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 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
