Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
