Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
