Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
