Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 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 shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
