Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and prepared goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
