Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
