Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially 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 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
