Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially 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, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
