Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
