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, will be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 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 high Garden. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
