Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
