Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
