Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
