Chapter 88, 26 verses
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هل أتاك حديث الغاشية
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,
وجوه يومئذ خاشعة
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun
Labouring (hard), weary, -
عاملة ناصبة
AAamilatun nasibatun
The while they enter the Blazing Fire, -
تصلى نارا حامية
Tasla naran hamiyatan
The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,
تسقى من عين آنية
Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'
ليس لهم طعام إلا من ضريع
Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.
لا يسمن ولا يغني من جوع
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,
وجوه يومئذ ناعمة
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
Pleased with their striving, -
لسعيها راضية
LisaAAyiha radiyatun
In a Garden on high,
في جنة عالية
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:
لا تسمع فيها لاغية
La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan
Therein will be a bubbling spring:
فيها عين جارية
Feeha AAaynun jariyatun
Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,
فيها سرر مرفوعة
Feeha sururun marfooAAatun
Goblets placed (ready),
وأكواب موضوعة
Waakwabun mawdooAAatun
And cushions set in rows,
ونمارق مصفوفة
Wanamariqu masfoofatun
And rich carpets (all) spread out.
وزرابي مبثوثة
Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? -
أفلا ينظرون إلى الإبل كيف خلقت
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
And at the Sky, how it is raised high? -
وإلى السماء كيف رفعت
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? -
وإلى الجبال كيف نصبت
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
And at the Earth, how it is spread out?
وإلى الأرض كيف سطحت
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.
فذكر إنما أنت مذكر
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.
لست عليهم بمصيطر
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
But if any turn away and reject Allah, -
إلا من تولى وكفر
Illa man tawalla wakafara
Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,
فيعذبه الله العذاب الأكبر
FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara
For to Us will be their return;
إن إلينا إيابهم
Inna ilayna iyabahum
Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
ثم إن علينا حسابهم
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
