Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
