Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look 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 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
