Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
