Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 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 one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
