Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
