Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
