Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
