Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
