Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
