Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
