Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and on 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 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
