Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were 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 spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
