Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 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 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set forth 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
