Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
