Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
