Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
