Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
