Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 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 do not have full control over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
