Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 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, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
