Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 given 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 be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 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 charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
