Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
