Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
