Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
