Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
