Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 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 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
