Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
Chapter 88, 26 verses
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun
Working [hard] and exhausted.
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ
AAamilatun nasibatun
They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
Tasla naran hamiyatan
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin
Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
With their effort [they are] satisfied
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
LisaAAyiha radiyatun
In an elevated garden,
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً
La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan
Within it is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
Feeha AAaynun jariyatun
Within it are couches raised high
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ
Feeha sururun marfooAAatun
And cups put in place
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ
Waakwabun mawdooAAatun
And cushions lined up
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
Wanamariqu masfoofatun
And carpets spread around.
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
Then 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 sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
You are not over them a controller.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
However, he 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
FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara
Indeed, to Us is their return.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
Inna ilayna iyabahum
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
