Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you received the news of the Enveloper? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
