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