Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
