Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and couches raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
