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