Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
