Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most 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 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
