Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
