Al-Ghashiyya ( 26 Verses )

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1 . Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

2 . Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

3 . Labouring (hard), weary,-

4 . The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

5 . The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

6 . No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

7 . Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

8 . (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

9 . Pleased with their striving,-

10 . In a Garden on high,

11 . Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

12 . Therein will be a bubbling spring:

13 . Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

14 . Goblets placed (ready),

15 . And cushions set in rows,

16 . And rich carpets (all) spread out.

17 . Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

18 . And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

19 . And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

20 . And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

21 . Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

22 . Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

23 . But if any turn away and reject Allah,-

24 . Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

25 . For to Us will be their return;

26 . Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
