Al-Ghashiya
/ The Overwhelming Event |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
Has the story reached thee of the Overwhelming (Event)? |
2 |
Some faces that Day will be humiliated |
3 |
Laboring (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. |
