Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
