Chapter 88, 26 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
Some faces, that Day will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians).
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun
Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace).
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ
AAamilatun nasibatun
They will enter in the hot blazing Fire.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant,
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin
Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger.
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism).
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

In a lofty Paradise.
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood.

And cups set at hand.
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ

And cushions set in rows.
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
Wanamariqu masfoofatun
And rich carpets (all) spread out.
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
Do they not look at the camels, how they are created?
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
And at the heaven, how it is raised?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
And at the mountains, how they are rooted (and fixed firm)?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
And at the earth, how it is outspread?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
So remind them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) - you are only one who reminds.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
You are not a dictator over them -
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
Save the one who turns away and disbelieves.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
Illa man tawalla wakafara
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ

Verily, to Us will be their return;
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
Inna ilayna iyabahum
Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
