Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
