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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
