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, will be humiliated, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
