- 88:1
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
- 88:2
[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
- 88:3
Working [hard] and exhausted.
- 88:4
They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
- 88:5
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
- 88:6
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
- 88:7
Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
- 88:8
[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
- 88:9
With their effort [they are] satisfied
- 88:10
In an elevated garden,
- 88:11
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
- 88:12
Within it is a flowing spring.
- 88:13
Within it are couches raised high
- 88:14
And cups put in place
- 88:15
And cushions lined up
- 88:16
And carpets spread around.
- 88:17
Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
- 88:18
And at the sky - how it is raised?
- 88:19
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
- 88:20
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
- 88:21
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
- 88:22
You are not over them a controller.
- 88:23
However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
- 88:24
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
- 88:25
Indeed, to Us is their return.
- 88:26
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
