بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ﴿1﴾
88:1Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]
وُجُوهࣱ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ﴿2﴾
88:2[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled
عَامِلَةࣱ نَّاصِبَةࣱ﴿3﴾
88:3Working [hard] and exhausted
تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةࣰ﴿4﴾
88:4They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire
تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةࣲ﴿5﴾
88:5They will be given drink from a boiling spring
لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعࣲ﴿6﴾
88:6For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعࣲ﴿7﴾
88:7Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger
وُجُوهࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ نَّاعِمَةࣱ﴿8﴾
88:8[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure
لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةࣱ﴿9﴾
88:9With their effort [they are] satisfied
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةࣲ﴿10﴾
88:10In an elevated garden
لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةࣰ﴿11﴾
88:11Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech
فِيهَا عَيۡنࣱ جَارِيَةࣱ﴿12﴾
88:12Within it is a flowing spring
فِيهَا سُرُرࣱ مَّرۡفُوعَةࣱ﴿13﴾
88:13Within it are couches raised high
وَأَكۡوَابࣱ مَّوۡضُوعَةࣱ﴿14﴾
88:14And cups put in place
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوفَةࣱ﴿15﴾
88:15And cushions lined up
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوثَةٌ﴿16﴾
88:16And carpets spread around
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ﴿17﴾
88:17Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created
وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ﴿18﴾
88:18And at the sky - how it is raised
وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ﴿19﴾
88:19And at the mountains - how they are erected
وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ﴿20﴾
88:20And at the earth - how it is spread out
فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرࣱ﴿21﴾
88:21So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder
لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ﴿22﴾
88:22You are not over them a controller
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ﴿23﴾
88:23However, he who turns away and disbelieves
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ﴿24﴾
88:24Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment
إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ﴿25﴾
88:25Indeed, to Us is their return
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم﴿26﴾
88:26Then indeed, upon Us is their account
