| Surah 88
- The Overwhelming Calamity |
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[88.1] Has not
there come to you the news of the
overwhelming calamity?
[88.2] (Some) faces on that
day shall be downcast,
[88.3] Laboring, toiling,
[88.4] Entering into burning
fire,
[88.5] Made to drink from a
boiling spring.
[88.6] They shall have no
food but of thorns,
[88.7] Which will neither
fatten nor avail against hunger.
[88.8] (Other) faces on that
day shall be happy,
[88.9] Well-pleased because
of their striving,
[88.10] In a lofty garden,
[88.11] Wherein you shall not
hear vain talk.
[88.12] Therein is a fountain
flowing,
[88.13] Therein are thrones
raised high,
[88.14] And drinking-cups
ready placed,
[88.15] And cushions set in a
row,
[88.16] And carpets spread
out.
[88.17] Will they not then
consider the camels, how they are
created?
[88.18] And the heaven, how
it is reared aloft,
[88.19] And the mountains,
how they are firmly fixed,
[88.20] And the earth, how it
is made a vast expanse?
[88.21] Therefore do remind,
for you are only a reminder.
[88.22] You are not a watcher
over them;
[88.23] But whoever turns
back and disbelieves,
[88.24] Allah will chastise
him with the greatest chastisement.
[88.25] Surely to Us is their
turning back,
[88.26] Then surely upon Us
is the taking of their account. |
