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 humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
