Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
