Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
