Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets set at hand 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
