Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
