Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
