Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
