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 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
