Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
