Chapter 88. The Overwhelming
Al-Ghashiyah 88:1
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?
Al-Ghashiyah 88:2
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ
On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:3
عَامِلَةٞ نَّاصِبَةٞ
Toiling, weary,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:4
تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةٗ
Scorched by burning fire,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:5
تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةٖ
Drinking from a boiling spring,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:6
لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٖ
No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit
Al-Ghashiyah 88:7
لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعٖ
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.
Al-Ghashiyah 88:8
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاعِمَةٞ
In that day other faces will be calm,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:9
لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةٞ
Glad for their effort past,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:10
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٖ
In a high Garden
Al-Ghashiyah 88:11
لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةٗ
Where they hear no idle speech,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:12
فِيهَا عَيۡنٞ جَارِيَةٞ
Wherein is a gushing spring,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:13
فِيهَا سُرُرٞ مَّرۡفُوعَةٞ
Wherein are couches raised
Al-Ghashiyah 88:14
وَأَكۡوَابٞ مَّوۡضُوعَةٞ
And goblets set at hand
Al-Ghashiyah 88:15
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوفَةٞ
And cushions ranged
Al-Ghashiyah 88:16
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوثَةٌ
And silken carpets spread.
Al-Ghashiyah 88:17
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?
Al-Ghashiyah 88:18
وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ
And the heaven, how it is raised?
Al-Ghashiyah 88:19
وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ
And the hills, how they are set up?
Al-Ghashiyah 88:20
وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ
And the earth, how it is spread?
Al-Ghashiyah 88:21
فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٞ
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:22
لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ
Thou art not at all a warder over them.
Al-Ghashiyah 88:23
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,
Al-Ghashiyah 88:24
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ
Allah will punish him with direst punishment.
Al-Ghashiyah 88:25
إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ
Lo! unto Us is their return
Al-Ghashiyah 88:26
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم
And Ours their reckoning.
