Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
