Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
