Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
