Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
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 Travailing, worn. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then 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 erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
