Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the 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 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
