Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
