Surah Al Ghashiyah

Quran Chapter 88

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1Did you hear of the Overwhelming Event?

2Some faces on that day will be humbled.

3Laboring and exhausted.

4Exposed to a fiercely blazing fire.

5Made to drink from a flaming spring.

6Their only food will be bitter thorns.

7Which neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

8Other faces on that day will be joyful.

9Satisfied with their endeavors.

10In a high and lofty paradise.

11In it, you will hear no nonsense.

12Within it, a spring will flow.

13Therein, are raised couches.

14With cups set at hand.

15And cushions lined up.

16And carpets spread out.

17Don’t they look at the camels, and how they were created?

18And the sky, how it is raised?

19And the mountains, how they are anchored?

20And the earth, how it is spread out?

21So remind, for you are simply a reminder.

22You are not a controller over them.

23Yet whoever turns away and disbelieves.

24God will punish him with the greatest punishment.

25To Us is their return.

26Then, upon Us is their judgment.
