Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most 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 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
