Sorah Al-Ghashiya ( The Overwhelming ) - Verses Number 26
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ( 1 ) 
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ ( 2 )
[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ ( 3 )
Working [hard] and exhausted.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً ( 4 )
They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ ( 5 )
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ ( 6 )
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ ( 7 )
Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ( 8 )
[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ ( 9 )
With their effort [they are] satisfied
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ( 10 )
In an elevated garden,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً ( 11 )
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ ( 12 )
Within it is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ ( 13 )
Within it are couches raised high
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ ( 14 )
And cups put in place
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ ( 15 )
And cushions lined up
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ( 16 )
And carpets spread around.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ( 17 )
Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ( 18 )
And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ( 19 )
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ( 20 )
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ( 21 )
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ( 22 )
You are not over them a controller.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ( 23 )
However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ ( 24 )
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ ( 25 )
Indeed, to Us is their return.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ( 26 )
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

- The World of the Jinn and DevilsIn the work before you, Dr. Umar Al-Ashqar, a well-known contemporary scholar of Islam, has attempted to tackle two important topics. The first topic is that of the characteristics of the jinn. This is a difficult topic for many reasons. One of them is that the devils are known to be liars. Thus, even when a person does encounter them, he cannot put much trust in what they claim about themselves. Therefore, one must virtually rely only on the statements of the Quran and the authentic hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The second topic is the characteristics and methodology of Satan himself. It is no coincidence that Allah has mentioned Satan, his goals, his plots and his allies throughout the entire Quran. This is because Satan is man’s greatest enemy. The believer must know the key to defending himself from Satan.

- Religious Freedom in Saudi ArabiaThe annual Religious Freedom Reports released by US State Department often include sections about religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. These reports are officially distributed by the State Department and then circulated amongst the centers of research in the West as well as the international media outlets and other channels. Saudi Arabia comes on top of concern of those involved in these reports, due to its religious and political significance. Accordingly, it becomes incumbent on us, as Saudis, to discuss the sections in these reports which cover religious freedom in our country and provide facts that are not included in these reports. While discussing these reports, we should explain to the world our view point vis-à-vis these reports. We should also allow the reader to discover the truth as stated therein and according to criteria upon which many fair-minded, rational people agreed with us.
