Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
