Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the Earth, how it is 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 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
