Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
