Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
