Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
