Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
