Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the 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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at 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 neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
