Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
