Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
