Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 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 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
