هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ١
Have you heard tell [Prophet] about the Overwhelming Event
Surah 88 · 26 Ayahs
Al-Ghashiyah
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy
- وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ٢
On that Day, there will be downcast faces
- عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ٣
toiling and weary
- تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً٤
as they enter the blazing Fire
- تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ٥
and are forced to drink from a boiling spring
- لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيعٍ٦
with no food for them except bitter dry thorns
- لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنْ جُوعٍ٧
that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
- وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاعِمَةٌ٨
On that Day there will also be faces radiant with bliss
- لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ٩
well pleased with their labour
- فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ١٠
in a lofty garden
- لَا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً١١
where they will hear no idle talk
- فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ١٢
with a flowing spring
- فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ١٣
raised couches
- وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ١٤
goblets placed before them
- وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ١٥
cushions set in rows
- وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ١٦
and carpets spread
- أَفَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ١٧
Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed
- وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ١٨
how the heavens are lifted
- وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ١٩
how the mountains are raised high
- وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ٢٠
how the earth is spread out
- فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ٢١
So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning
- لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ٢٢
you are not there to control them
- إِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ٢٣
As for those who turn away and disbelieve
- فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ٢٤
God will inflict the greatest torment upon them
- إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ٢٥
It is to Us they will return
- ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ٢٦
and then it is for Us to call them to account
