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 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
