Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
