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 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
