Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
