Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
