Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
