Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
