Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
