Al-Ghashiyah The Overwhelming

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ ۝١

88:1 Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ ۝٢

88:2 On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ ۝٣

88:3 Toiling, weary,

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً ۝٤

88:4 Scorched by burning fire,

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ ۝٥

88:5 Drinking from a boiling spring,

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ ۝٦

88:6 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ ۝٧

88:7 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ۝٨

88:8 In that day other faces will be calm,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ ۝٩

88:9 Glad for their effort past,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ۝١٠

88:10 In a high Garden

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةً ۝١١

88:11 Where they hear no idle speech,

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ ۝١٢

88:12 Wherein is a gushing spring,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ ۝١٣

88:13 Wherein are couches raised

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ ۝١٤

88:14 And goblets set at hand

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ ۝١٥

88:15 And cushions ranged

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ۝١٦

88:16 And silken carpets spread.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ۝١٧

88:17 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ۝١٨

88:18 And the heaven, how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ۝١٩

88:19 And the hills, how they are set up?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ۝٢٠

88:20 And the earth, how it is spread?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ۝٢١

88:21 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ۝٢٢

88:22 Thou art not at all a warder over them.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ۝٢٣

88:23 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ ۝٢٤

88:24 Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ ۝٢٥

88:25 Lo! unto Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ۝٢٦

88:26 And Ours their reckoning.
