Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
