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, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
