Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about 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 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
