Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
