Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
