Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
