بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down,
عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ
troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring.
لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيعٍ
They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit
لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنْ جُوعٍ
which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاعِمَةٌ
However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy.
لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past.
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
They will live in an exalted garden
لَا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً
wherein they will not hear any vain talk.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
Therein will be a flowing spring,
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ
raised couches,
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ
well arranged goblets,
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
well-placed cushions,
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
and well spread carpets.
أَفَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
Have they not looked at how the camel is created,
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
how the heavens are raised up high,
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
how the mountains are set firm,
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
and how the earth is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
(Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher.
لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
You do not have full control over them.
إِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
However, those who turn away and disbelieve,
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
God will punish them with the greatest torment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
To Us they will all return.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ
In Our hands are their accounts.
