Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
