Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
