Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
