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 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
