Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
