Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
