Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
