Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
