Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
