Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
