Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
