Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
