Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
