Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
