الغاشية
Al-Ghashiya
The All-Covering
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Has the discourse concerning the All-Covering reached you?
هل اتيك حديث الغشيه
Some faces, that Day, will be humble, toiling, exhausted. They will be made to burn in a scorching fire, given drink from a boiling spring.
وجوه يوميذ خشعه عامله ناصبه تصلي نارا حاميه تسقي من عين انيه
They will have no food except dry thorns, which neither fatten nor avail against hunger.
ليس لهم طعام الا من ضريع لا يسمن ولا يغني من جوع
Some faces, that Day, will be in bliss, pleased with their effort, in a lofty garden, where no idle talk will be heard.
وجوه يوميذ ناعمه لسعيها راضيه في جنه عاليه لا تسمع فيها لغيه
Therein is a flowing spring.
فيها عين جاريه
Therein are elevated couches, and goblets set out, and cushions lined up, and carpets spread out.
فيها سرر مرفوعه واكواب موضوعه ونمارق مصفوفه وزرابي مبثوثه
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?
افلا ينظرون الي الابل كيف خلقت والي السما كيف رفعت والي الجبال كيف نصبت والي الارض كيف سطحت
So remind; you are only one who reminds.
فذكر انما انت مذكر
You have no power to compel them.
لست عليهم بمصيطر
Except one who has turned his back and disowned — God will punish him with the greatest punishment.
الا من تولي وكفر فيعذبه الله العذاب الاكبر
To Us is their resort, then upon Us is their reckoning.
ان الينا ايابهم ثم ان علينا حسابهم
