Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
