Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 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 (hard), weary,- 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
