Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
