Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
