Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
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 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
