Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And linen spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
