Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and 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 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
