Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
