Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
