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.
