Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
