Nay, you prefer the life of
this world, (16) Although the Hereafter is better and
more lasting. (17) Verily, this is in the former Scriptures — (18) The Scriptures of
Ibrâhim (Abraham) and Mûsa (Moses). (19)
Al-Ghashiya
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the
Day of Resurrection)? (1) Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the
Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians). (2) Labouring (hard in
the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allâh), weary (in the Hereafter
with humility and disgrace). (3) They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, (4) They will be given to
drink from a boiling spring, (5) No food will there be for them but a
poisonous thorny plant, (6) Which will neither nourish nor avail against
hunger (7) (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, (8) Glad with their
endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the
true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism). (9) In a lofty Paradise (10) Where they shall
neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, (11) Therein will be a
running spring, (12) Therein will be thrones raised high, (13) And cups set at hand
(14) And cushions set in
rows, (15) And rich carpets (all) spread out (16) Do they not look at
the camels, how they are created? (17) And at the heaven, how it is raised? (18) And at the mountains,
how they are rooted (and fixed firm)? (19) And at the earth, how it is outspread?
(20) So remind them (O
Muhammad (SAW)) — you are only a one who reminds. (21) You are not a
dictator over them — (22) Save the one who turns away and
disbelieves. (23) Then Allâh will punish him with the greatest punishment. (24) Verily, to Us will be their return; (25) Then verily, for Us
will be their reckoning. (26)
