Surah 88: Al-Ghaashiya سُورَةُ الغَاشِيَةِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ 1

¹Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ 2

²On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ 3

³Toiling, weary,

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً 4

⁴Scorched by burning fire,

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ 5

⁵Drinking from a boiling spring,

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ 6

⁶No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ 7

⁷Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ 8

⁸In that day other faces will be calm,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ 9

⁹Glad for their effort past,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ 10

¹⁰In a high Garden

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةً 11

¹¹Where they hear no idle speech,

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ 12

¹²Wherein is a gushing spring,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ 13

¹³Wherein are couches raised

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ 14

¹⁴And goblets set at hand

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ 15

¹⁵And cushions ranged

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ 16

¹⁶And silken carpets spread.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ 17

¹⁷Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ 18

¹⁸And the heaven, how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ 19

¹⁹And the hills, how they are set up?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ 20

²⁰And the earth, how it is spread?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ 21

²¹Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ 22

²²Thou art not at all a warder over them.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ 23

²³But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ 24

²⁴Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ 25

²⁵Lo! unto Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم 26

²⁶And Ours their reckoning.
