Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
