Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
