Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 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 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
