Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming 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, wearied out, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
