Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 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 heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
