Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
