Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and arranged cushions 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
