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 Laboring, toiling, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
