Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
