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 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
