Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
