Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
