88:1
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)
88:2
Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated
88:3
Labouring (hard), weary,
88:4
The while they enter the Blazing Fire,
88:5
The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring
88:6
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari
88:7
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
88:8
(Other) faces that Day will be joyful
88:9
Pleased with their striving,
88:10
In a Garden on high
88:11
Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity
88:12
Therein will be a bubbling spring
88:13
Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high
88:14
Goblets placed (ready)
88:15
And cushions set in rows
88:16
And rich carpets (all) spread out
88:17
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?
88:18
And at the Sky, how it is raised high?
88:19
And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?
88:20
And at the Earth, how it is spread out
88:21
Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish
88:22
Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs
88:23
But if any turn away and reject Allah,
88:24
Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment
88:25
For to Us will be their return
88:26
Then it will be for Us to call them to account
