Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups set at hand. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
