Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
