Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and couches raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
