Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
