Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
