Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
