Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 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 a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
