Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
