Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets set, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
