Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most 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, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
