Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set forth 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
