Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most 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 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
