Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
