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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Scorched by burning 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 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
