Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most 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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
