Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the Earth, how it 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 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
