Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
