Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
