Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
