Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
