Al Gashiya

1 Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

1 Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

2 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

2 Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

3 Working [hard] and exhausted.

3 AAamilatun nasibatun

4 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

4 Tasla naran hamiyatan

5 They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

5 Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

6 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

6 Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

7 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

7 La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

8 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

8 Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

9 With their effort [they are] satisfied

9 LisaAAyiha radiyatun

10 In an elevated garden,

10 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

11 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

11 La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

12 Within it is a flowing spring.

12 Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

13 Within it are couches raised high

13 Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

14 And cups put in place

14 Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

15 And cushions lined up

15 Wanamariqu masfoofatun

16 And carpets spread around.

16 Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

17 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

17 Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

18 And at the sky - how it is raised?

18 Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

19 And at the mountains - how they are erected?

19 Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

20 And at the earth - how it is spread out?

20 Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

21 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

21 Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

22 You are not over them a controller.

22 Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

23 However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

23 Illa man tawalla wakafara

24 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

24 FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

25 Indeed, to Us is their return.

25 Inna ilayna iyabahum

26 Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

26 Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
