Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
