Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
