Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
