Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And linen spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
