Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
