Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
