Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
