Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
