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