Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
