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 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and arranged cushions 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
