Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
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 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
