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 faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
