Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 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 an elevated garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
