Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 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 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 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 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
