Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee 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 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 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 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
