Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
