Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
