Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth 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 whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
