Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
