Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most 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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
