Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
