Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
