Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
