Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
