Al-Ghashiyah

26 Ayahs

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

١

Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you!

٢

Many a face will be disgraced on that day.

٣

Labouring, striving hard.

٤

(Yet) Going into the blazing fire.

٥

Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring.

٦

There is no food for them except thorns of fire.

٧

Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger.

٨

Many a face will be in serenity on that day.

٩

Rejoicing over their efforts.

١٠

In a high Garden.

١١

In which they will not hear any lewd speech.

١٢

In it is a flowing spring.

١٣

In which are high thrones.

١٤

And chosen goblets.

١٥

And arranged carpets.

١٦

And linen spread out.

١٧

So do they not see the camel – how it has been created?

١٨

And the heaven – how it has been raised?

١٩

And the mountains – how they have been established?

٢٠

And the earth – how it has been spread out?

٢١

Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.)

٢٢

You are not at all a guardian over them.

٢٣

Except whoever turns away and disbelieves –

٢٤

So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment.

٢٥

Indeed only towards Us is their return

٢٦

Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning.
