Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
