Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 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 rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
