Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
