Surah Al-Ghashiya ( The Overwhelming ) - Aya count 26
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ ﴿١﴾
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you?
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ ﴿٢﴾
Many faces will be contrite on that day,
عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ ﴿٣﴾
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ ﴿٤﴾
Burning in the scorching fire,
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ ﴿٥﴾
Given water from the boiling spring to drink.
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ ﴿٦﴾
They will have no food except bitter thorn,
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ ﴿٧﴾
Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ ﴿٨﴾
Many faces will be joyous on that day,
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾
Well-pleased with their endeavour,
فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ﴿١٠﴾
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ ﴿١١﴾
فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ ﴿١٢﴾
There is a stream of running water in it;
فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾
And within it are couches placed on high,
وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ ﴿١٤﴾
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ ﴿١٥﴾
وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ﴿١٦﴾
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ﴿١٧﴾
Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed;
وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ﴿١٨﴾
And the heavens, how it was raised high;
وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ﴿١٩﴾
And the mountains, how they were fixed;
وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ﴿٢٠﴾
And the earth, how it was spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ ﴿٢١﴾
Remind them; you are surely a reminder.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ﴿٢٢﴾
You are not a warden over them,
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ﴿٢٣﴾
Other than him who turns his back and denies,
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ ﴿٢٤﴾
In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ ﴿٢٥﴾
To Us is surely their returning;
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ﴿٢٦﴾
Ours is surely then to reckon with them.
