Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
