Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
