Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially 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 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
