Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
