Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
