Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the 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 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
