Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen 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 the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
