Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
