Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
