Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
