Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
