Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
