Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
