Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
