Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
