Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
