Al-Ghaashiya

Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

Hal 'Atāka Ĥadīthu Al-Ghāshiyahi

Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity

Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

Wujūhun Yawma'idhin Khāshi`ahun

(Some) faces on that day shall be downcast

AAamilatun nasibatun

Āmilatun Nāşibahun

Laboring, toiling

Tasla naran hamiyatan

Taşlá Nārāan Ĥāmiyahan

Entering into burning fire

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

Tusqá Min `Aynin 'Āniyahin

Made to drink from a boiling spring

Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

Laysa Lahum Ţa`āmun 'Illā Min Đarī`in

They shall have no food but of thorns

La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

Lā Yusminu Wa Lā Yughnī Min Jū`in

Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger

Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

Wujūhun Yawma'idhin Nā`imahun

(Other) faces on that day shall be happy

LisaAAyiha radiyatun

Lisa`yihā Rāđiyahun

Well-pleased because of their striving

Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

Fī Jannatin `Āliyahin

In a lofty garden

La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

Lā Tasma`u Fīhā Lāghiyahan

Wherein you shall not hear vain talk

Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

Fīhā `Aynun Jāriyahun

Therein is a fountain flowing

Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

Fīhā Sururun Marfū`ahun

Therein are thrones raised high

Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

Wa 'Akwābun Mawđū`ahun

And drinking-cups ready placed

Wanamariqu masfoofatun

Wa Namāriqu Maşfūfahun

And cushions set in a row

Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

Wa Zarābīyu Mabthūthahun

And carpets spread out

Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

Afalā Yanžurūna 'Ilá Al-'Ibili Kayfa Khuliqat

Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created

Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

Wa 'Ilá As-Samā'i Kayfa Rufi`at

And the heaven, how it is reared aloft

Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

Wa 'Ilá Al-Jibāli Kayfa Nuşibat

And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed

Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

Wa 'Ilá Al-'Arđi Kayfa Suţiĥat

And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

Fadhakkir 'Innamā 'Anta Mudhakkirun

Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

Lasta `Alayhim Bimusayţirin

You are not a watcher over them

Illa man tawalla wakafara

Illā Man Tawallá Wa Kafara

But whoever turns back and disbelieves

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

Fayu`adhibuhu Allāhu Al-`Adhāba Al-'Akbara

Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement

Inna ilayna iyabahum

Inna 'Ilaynā 'Īābahum

Surely to Us is their turning back

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum

Thumma 'Inna `Alaynā Ĥisābahum

Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account
