Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, 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 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
