Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, 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, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
