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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 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 do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
