Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
