Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
