Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee 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 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
