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 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
