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 (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
