Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
