Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 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 shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
