Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
