Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
