Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
