Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
