Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
