Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
