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, toilworn, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
