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 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
