Surah Al-Ghaashiya سُورَةُ الغَاشِيَةِ

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ1

Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ2

Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ3

Labouring (hard), weary,-

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ4

The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ5

The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ6

No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ7

Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ8

(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ9

Pleased with their striving,-

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ10

In a Garden on high,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ11

Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ12

Therein will be a bubbling spring:

فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ13

Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ14

Goblets placed (ready),

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ15

And cushions set in rows,

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ16

And rich carpets (all) spread out.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ17

Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ18

And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ19

And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ20

And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ21

Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ22

Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ23

But if any turn away and reject Allah,-

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ24

Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ25

For to Us will be their return;

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم26

Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
