Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming 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 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
