Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
