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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
