Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
