Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and couches raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who 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 verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
