Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
