Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
