Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 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 the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
