Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
