Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 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, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
