Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
