Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
