Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
