Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
