Al-Ghashiyah

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

hal atāka ḥadīthu l-ghāshiyati

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

wujūhun yawma-idhin khāshiʿatun

Working [hard] and exhausted.

ʿāmilatun nāṣibatun

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

taṣlā nāran ḥāmiyatan

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

tus'qā min ʿaynin āniyatin

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

laysa lahum ṭaʿāmun illā min ḍarīʿin

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

lā yus'minu walā yugh'nī min jūʿin

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

wujūhun yawma-idhin nāʿimatun

With their effort [they are] satisfied

lisaʿyihā rāḍiyatun

In an elevated garden,

fī jannatin ʿāliyatin

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

lā tasmaʿu fīhā lāghiyatan

Within it is a flowing spring.

fīhā ʿaynun jāriyatun

Within it are couches raised high

fīhā sururun marfūʿatun

And cups put in place

wa-akwābun mawḍūʿatun

And cushions lined up

wanamāriqu maṣfūfatun

And carpets spread around.

wazarābiyyu mabthūthatun

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

afalā yanẓurūna ilā l-ibili kayfa khuliqat

And at the sky - how it is raised?

wa-ilā l-samāi kayfa rufiʿat

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

wa-ilā l-jibāli kayfa nuṣibat

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

wa-ilā l-arḍi kayfa suṭiḥat

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

fadhakkir innamā anta mudhakkirun

You are not over them a controller.

lasta ʿalayhim bimuṣayṭirin

However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

illā man tawallā wakafara

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

fayuʿadhibuhu l-lahu l-ʿadhāba l-akbara

Indeed, to Us is their return.

inna ilaynā iyābahum

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

thumma inna ʿalaynā ḥisābahum
