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 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 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 at the heaven, how it is raised? 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 their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
