Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
