Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most 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 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
