Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, 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 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
