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 will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
