Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
