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 Toiling, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
