Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 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), weary,- 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
