Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and well spread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
