Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
