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 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
