Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of 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 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
