Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
