Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
