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