Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 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 at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
