Chapter 88, 26 verses
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ?
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
AAamilatun nasibatun
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ
Toiling, weary,
Tasla naran hamiyatan
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
Scorched by burning fire,
Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
Drinking from a boiling spring,
Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
No food for them save bitter thorn - fruit
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
In that day other faces will be calm,
LisaAAyiha radiyatun
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
Glad for their effort past,
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
In a high Garden
La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً
Where they hear no idle speech,
Feeha AAaynun jariyatun
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
Wherein is a gushing spring,
Feeha sururun marfooAAatun
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ
Wherein are couches raised
Waakwabun mawdooAAatun
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ
And goblets set at hand
Wanamariqu masfoofatun
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
And cushions ranged
Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
And silken carpets spread.
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
And the heaven, how it is raised ?
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
And the hills, how they are set up ?
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
And the earth, how it is spread ?
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
Thou art not at all a warder over them.
Illa man tawalla wakafara
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,
FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
Allah will punish him with direst punishment.
Inna ilayna iyabahum
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
Lo! unto Us is their return
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
And Ours their reckoning.
