Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
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 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
