Chapter 88, 26 verses
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ
(Some) faces on that day shall be downcast,
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ
Laboring, toiling,
AAamilatun nasibatun
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ
Entering into burning fire,
Tasla naran hamiyatan
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
Made to drink from a boiling spring.
Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ
They shall have no food but of thorns,
Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ
(Other) faces on that day shall be happy,
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
Well - pleased because of their striving,
LisaAAyiha radiyatun
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
In a lofty garden,
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.
La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةً
Therein is a fountain flowing,
Feeha AAaynun jariyatun
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
Therein are thrones raised high,
Feeha sururun marfooAAatun
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ
And drinking - cups ready placed,
Waakwabun mawdooAAatun
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ
And cushions set in a row,
Wanamariqu masfoofatun
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
And carpets spread out.
Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
You are not a watcher over them;
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
But whoever turns back and disbelieves,
Illa man tawalla wakafara
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ
Surely to Us is their turning back,
Inna ilayna iyabahum
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ
Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
