Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
