Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-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 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
