Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
