Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
