Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
