Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping 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, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing 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 doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a garden sublime, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 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 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
