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 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 well arranged goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
