088 : The Overwhelming

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,− 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?− 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. −− 088 : The Overwhelming −−
