Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) 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 at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
