Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
