Al-Ghashiya (الغاشية)
Surah 88 • 27 Verses • Arabic, English & Kiswahili
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
﴿١﴾
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
﴿٢﴾
Has there come to you the report of the overwhelming event?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
﴿٣﴾
Some faces that Day will be humbled,
عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ
﴿٤﴾
Working [hard] and exhausted.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
﴿٥﴾
They will enter into a burning fire.
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
﴿٦﴾
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
﴿٧﴾
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ
﴿٨﴾
Which neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
﴿٩﴾
Other faces that Day will show pleasure.
لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
﴿١٠﴾
With their effort [they are] satisfied
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
﴿١١﴾
In an elevated garden,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً
﴿١٢﴾
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
﴿١٣﴾
Within it is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ
﴿١٤﴾
Within it are couches raised high
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ
﴿١٥﴾
And cups put in place
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
﴿١٦﴾
And cushions lined up
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
﴿١٧﴾
And carpets spread around.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
﴿١٨﴾
Do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
﴿١٩﴾
And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
﴿٢٠﴾
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
﴿٢١﴾
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
﴿٢٢﴾
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
﴿٢٣﴾
You are not over them a controller.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
﴿٢٤﴾
However, he who turns away and disbelieves –
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
﴿٢٥﴾
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
﴿٢٦﴾
Indeed, to Us is their return.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ
﴿٢٧﴾
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
