Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
