Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
