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 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In an elevated garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
