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, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
