Al-Ghashiyah
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ
(88:1) Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you?1
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ
(88:2) Some faces2 that Day shall be downcast with fear,
عَامِلَةٞ نَّاصِبَةٞ
(88:3) be toiling and worn-out;
تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةٗ
(88:4) they shall burn in a Scorching Fire;
تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةٖ
(88:5) their drink shall be from a boiling spring.
لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٖ
(88:6) They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns3
لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعٖ
(88:7) that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger.
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاعِمَةٞ
(88:8) On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy,
