Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
