Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
