Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
