Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the 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, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
