Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
