Al-Ghashiya
The All-Covering
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Has there come to you the discourse concerning the All-Covering?
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ
Some faces, that Day, will be humble, toiling, exhausted. They will burn in a scorching fire, given drink from a boiling spring.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ
They will have no food except dry thorns, which neither fatten nor avail against hunger.
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ
Some faces, that Day, will be in bliss, pleased with their effort, in a lofty garden, where no idle talk will be heard.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ لَّا يُسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةٞ
Therein is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ
Therein are elevated couches, and goblets set out, and cushions lined up, and carpets spread out.
فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
Do they not look at the massive animals, how they were created? And at the sky, how it was elevated? And at the mountains, how they were set up? And at the earth, how it was laid flat?
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
So remind; you are only one who reminds.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ
You have no power to compel them.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
Except one who has turned his back and disowned — God will punish him with the greatest punishment.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ
To Us is their return, then upon Us is their reckoning.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
