Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
