Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And chosen goblets. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
