Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 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 are not a watcher over them; 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
