Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 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 over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
