Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
