Surah Al-Ghashiya ( The Overwhelming ) - Aya count 26
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
( 1 ) Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
( 2 ) [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ
( 3 ) Working [hard] and exhausted.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
( 4 ) They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
( 5 ) They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
( 6 ) For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ
( 7 ) Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
( 8 ) [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
( 9 ) With their effort [they are] satisfied
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
( 10 ) In an elevated garden,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً
( 11 ) Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
( 12 ) Within it is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ
( 13 ) Within it are couches raised high
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ
( 14 ) And cups put in place
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
( 15 ) And cushions lined up
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
( 16 ) And carpets spread around.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
( 17 ) Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
( 18 ) And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
( 19 ) And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
( 20 ) And at the earth - how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
( 21 ) So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
( 22 ) You are not over them a controller.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
( 23 ) However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
( 24 ) Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
( 25 ) Indeed, to Us is their return.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
( 26 ) Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
