Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
