Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
