Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
