Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink 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 on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
