Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
