Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
