Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 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 be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
