Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
