Chapter 88, 26 verses
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هل أتاك حديث الغاشية
[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
وجوه يومئذ خاشعة
Working [hard] and exhausted.
عاملة ناصبة
They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
تصلى نارا حامية
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
تسقى من عين آنية
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
ليس لهم طعام إلا من ضريع
Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
لا يسمن ولا يغني من جوع
[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
وجوه يومئذ ناعمة
With their effort [they are] satisfied
لسعيها راضية
In an elevated garden,
في جنة عالية
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
لا تسمع فيها لاغية
Within it is a flowing spring.
فيها عين جارية
Within it are couches raised high
فيها سرر مرفوعة
And cups put in place
وأكواب موضوعة
And cushions lined up
ونمارق مصفوفة
And carpets spread around.
وزرابي مبثوثة
Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
أفلا ينظرون إلى الإبل كيف خلقت
And at the sky - how it is raised?
وإلى السماء كيف رفعت
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وإلى الجبال كيف نصبت
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
وإلى الأرض كيف سطحت
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
فذكر إنما أنت مذكر
You are not over them a controller.
لست عليهم بمصيطر
However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
إلا من تولى وكفر
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
فيعذبه الله العذاب الأكبر
Indeed, to Us is their return.
إن إلينا إيابهم
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
ثم إن علينا حسابهم
