Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
