Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been 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 whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
