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 humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
