Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
