Al-Ghaashiya
The Overwhelming
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ١
88:1Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ٢
88:2[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ٣
88:3Working [hard] and exhausted.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ٤
88:4They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ٥
88:5They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ٦
88:6For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ٧
88:7Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ٨
88:8[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ٩
88:9With their effort [they are] satisfied
فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ١٠
88:10In an elevated garden,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ١١
88:11Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ١٢
88:12Within it is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ١٣
88:13Within it are couches raised high
وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ١٤
88:14And cups put in place
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ١٥
88:15And cushions lined up
وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ١٦
88:16And carpets spread around.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ١٧
88:17Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ١٨
88:18And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ١٩
88:19And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ٢٠
88:20And at the earth - how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ٢١
88:21So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ٢٢
88:22You are not over them a controller.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ٢٣
88:23However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ٢٤
88:24Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ٢٥
88:25Indeed, to Us is their return.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم٢٦
88:26Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
