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 (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
