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 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
