هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ (1)
Has there come to you the story of the Overwhelming Event |
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ (2)
On that Day, some faces will be humiliated |
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ (3)
toiling and weary |
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً (4)
as they burn in a scorching Fire |
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ (5)
They will be made to drink from a boiling spring |
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ (6)
and they will have no food except bitter thorny plants |
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ (7)
that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger |
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ (8)
Other faces on that Day will be joyful |
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ (9)
well-pleased with their past striving |
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ (10)
in an elevated garden |
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً (11)
wherein no idle talk will be heard |
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ (12)
There will be a flowing spring |
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ (13)
and couches raised high |
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ (14)
and cups placed ready |
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ (15)
and cushions lined up |
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ (16)
and splendid carpets spread out |
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ (17)
Do they not reflect on the camel, how it is created |
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ (18)
and the sky, how it is raised high |
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ (19)
and the mountains, how they are firmly set up |
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ (20)
and the earth, how it is spread out |
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ (21)
So remind [O Prophet]; your duty is only to remind |
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ (22)
you are not assigned to compel them |
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ (23)
But whoever turns away and disbelieves |
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ (24)
Allah will inflict upon him the greatest punishment |
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ (25)
Indeed, to Us is their return |
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم (26)
then it is for Us to call them to account |
