Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
