Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping 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 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
