Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing 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 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 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 watcher over them; 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
