Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a sublime garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
