Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
