Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
