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 shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
