Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering 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 in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
