Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hast thou received the story 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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
