Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
