Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
