Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
