Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
