Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
