Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 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 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
