Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
