Al-Ghaashiya

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

هَلْ أَتَیٰکَ حَدِیثُ الْغَٰشِیَةِ(1)

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

وُجُوهٌ یَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ(2)

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

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ(3)

Working [hard] and exhausted(3)

تَصْلَیٰ نَارًا حَامِیَةً(4)

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

تُسْقَیٰ مِنْ عَیْنٍ ءَانِیَةٍ(5)

They will be given drink from a boiling spring(5)

لَّیْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِیعٍ(6)

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

لَّا یُسْمِنُ وَلَا یُغْنِی مِن جُوعٍ(7)

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger(7)

وُجُوهٌ یَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ(8)

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure(8)

لِّسَعْیِهَا رَاضِیَةٌ(9)

With their effort [they are] satisfied(9)

فِی جَنَّةٍ عَالِیَةٍ(10)

In an elevated garden,(10)

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِیهَا لَٰغِیَةً(11)

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech(11)

فِیهَا عَیْنٌ جَارِیَةٌ(12)

Within it is a flowing spring(12)

فِیهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ(13)

Within it are couches raised high(13)

وَأَکْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ(14)

And cups put in place(14)

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ(15)

And cushions lined up(15)

وَزَرَابِیُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ(16)

And carpets spread around(16)

أَفَلَا یَنظُرُونَ إِلَی الْإِبِلِ کَیْفَ خُلِقَتْ(17)

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

وَإِلَی السَّمَآءِ کَیْفَ رُفِعَتْ(18)

And at the sky – how it is raised ?

وَإِلَی الْجِبَالِ کَیْفَ نُصِبَتْ(19)

the mountains - how they are erected?(19)

وَإِلَی الْأَرْضِ کَیْفَ سُطِحَتْ(20)

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

فَذَکِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَکِّرٌ(21)

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

لَّسْتَ عَلَیْهِم بِمُصَیْطِرٍ(22)

You are not over them a controller(22)

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّیٰ وَکَفَرَ(23)

However, he who turns away and disbelieves -(23)

فَیُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَکْبَرَ(24)

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment(24)

إِنَّ إِلَیْنَآ إِیَابَهُمْ(25)

Indeed, to Us is their return(25)

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیْنَا حِسَابَهُم(26)

Then indeed, upon Us is their account(26)
