Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 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 (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
