88. Al-Ghaashiya

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ1

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

Hal ataaka hadeesul ghaashiyah

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ2

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

Wujoohuny yawma 'izin khaashi'ah

عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ3

Working [hard] and exhausted.

'Aamilatun naasibah

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ4

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

Taslaa naaran haamiyah

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ5

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

Tusqaa min 'aynin aaniyah

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ6

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

Laisa lahum ta'aamun illaa min daree'

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ7

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

Laa yusminu wa laa yughnee min joo'

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ8

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

Wujoohuny yawma 'izin naa'imah

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ9

With their effort [they are] satisfied

Lisa'yihaa raadiyah

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ10

In an elevated garden,

Fee jannatin 'aaliyah

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ11

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

Laa tasma'u feehaa laaghiyah

فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ12

Within it is a flowing spring.

Feehaa 'aynun jaariyah

فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ13

Within it are couches raised high

Feehaa sururum marfoo'ah

وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ14

And cups put in place

Wa akwaabum mawdoo 'ah

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ15

And cushions lined up

Wa namaariqu masfoofah

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ16

And carpets spread around.

Wa zaraabiyyu mabsoosah

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ17

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

Afalaa yanzuroona ilalibili kaifa khuliqat

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ18

And at the sky - how it is raised?

Wa ilas samaaa'i kaifa rufi'at

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ19

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

Wa ilal jibaali kaifa nusibat

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ20

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

Wa ilal ardi kaifa sutihat

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ21

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

Fazakkir innama anta Muzakkir

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ22

You are not over them a controller.

Lasta 'alaihim bimusaitir

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ23

However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

Illaa man tawallaa wa kafar

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ24

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

Fa yu'azzibuhul laahul 'azaabal akbar

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ25

Indeed, to Us is their return.

Innaa ilainaaa iyaabahum

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم26

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
