Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
