Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
