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 shall be downcast with fear, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 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 do not have full control over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
