Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
