Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And linen 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 they are erected? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
