Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Yet, going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
