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 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
