Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
