Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
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 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
