Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning 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 neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
