Al-Ghāshiyah

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ

Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyat

Have you heard tell [Prophet] about the Overwhelming Event?

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ

Wujoohun yawma-ithin khashiAAa

On that Day, there will be downcast faces,

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ

AAamilatun nasiba

toiling and weary,

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

Tasla naran hamiya

as they enter the blazing Fire

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ

Tusqa min AAaynin aniya

and are forced to drink from a boiling spring,

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

Laysa lahum taAAamun illamin dareeAA

with no food for them except bitter dry thorns

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ

La yusminu wala yughnee minjooAA

that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

Wujoohun yawma-ithin naAAima

On that Day there will also be faces radiant with bliss,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

LisaAAyiha radiya

well pleased with their labour,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

Fee jannatin AAaliya

in a lofty garden,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةً

La tasmaAAu feeha laghiya

where they will hear no idle talk,

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

Feeha AAaynun jariya

with a flowing spring,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ

Feeha sururun marfooAAa

raised couches,

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ

Waakwabun mawdooAAa

goblets placed before them,

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

Wanamariqu masfoofa

cushions set in rows,

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

Wazarabiyyu mabthootha

and carpets spread.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Afala yanthuroona ilaal-ibili kayfa khuliqat

Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

Wa-ila assama-i kayfarufiAAat

how the heavens are lifted,

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

Wa-ila aljibali kayfa nusibat

how the mountains are raised high,

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

Wa-ila al-ardi kayfa sutihat

how the earth is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkir

So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning,

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytir

you are not there to control them.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

Illa man tawalla wakafar

As for those who turn away and disbelieve,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathabaal-akbar

God will inflict the greatest torment upon them.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ

Inna ilayna iyabahum

It is to Us they will return,

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum

and then it is for Us to call them to account.
