Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
