Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
