Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 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 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
