Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
