Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially 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 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
