Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the 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 will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
