Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
