Al-Ghashiyah الغاشية

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim hal ata'aka hadith al-ghashiyah

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

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ

wujuh yawma'idhin khashi'ah

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ

'amilah nasibah

Working [hard] and exhausted.

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

sala naran hamiyatan

They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ

tusqa min 'aynin aniyah

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

laysa lahum ta'am illa min dari'

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

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ

la yusminu wala yughni min ju'

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

wujuh yawma'idhin na'imah

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

li-sa'yiha radiyat

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

fi jannat 'aliyat

In an elevated garden,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً

la tasma' fiha laghiyah

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

fiha 'ayn jariyah

Within it is a flowing spring.

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ

fiha surur marfu'ah

Within it are couches raised high

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ

wa-akwab mawdu'a

And cups put in place

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

wa-namariq masfufah

And cushions lined up

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

wa-zarabiy mabthuthah

And carpets spread around.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

a-fala yanzuruna ila al-ibil kayfa khuliqat

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

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

wa-ila as-sama' kayfa rufi'at

And at the sky - how it is raised?

وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

wa-ila al-jibal kayfa nusibat

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

wa-ila al-ard kayfa suthat

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

fa-dhakkir innama anta mudhakkir

So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

lasta 'alayhim bi-musaytir

You are not over them a controller.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

illa man tawalla wa-kafar

However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ

fa-yu'adhdhibuhu Allah al-'adhab al-akbar

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ

inna ilayna iyabahum

Indeed, to Us is their return.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

thumma inna 'alayna hisabahum

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
