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, that Day, will be humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
