| 88:1 | | Has the story of The Overwhelming (Event) reached you |
| 88:2 | | On that Day, some faces will suffer humiliation |
| 88:3 | | Working (hard in) weariness&mdash |
| 88:4 | | While they enter the blazing Fire&mdash |
| 88:5 | | While they are given, from a boiling hot spring (fluid), to drink |
| 88:6 | | No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari’ (a dry, bitter and thorny fruit |
| 88:7 | | Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger |
| 88:8 | | On that Day (other) faces will be joyful |
| 88:9 | | Pleased with their struggle (of this life)&mdash |
| 88:10 | | In a Garden raised high |
| 88:11 | | Where they shall not hear (empty words) |
| 88:12 | | In there will be a bubbling spring |
| 88:13 | | In there will be Thrones (of dignity), raised high |
| 88:14 | | Cups placed (ready) |
| 88:15 | | And cushions set in rows |
| 88:16 | | And rich carpets spread out |
| 88:17 | | Do they (the unbelievers) 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 you (O Prophet) give Guidance: For you are the one to guide |
| 88:22 | | You are not the one to manage (men’s) affairs |
| 88:23 | | But if any (one) turns away and rejects Allah&mdash |
| 88:24 | | Allah will punish him with a severe punishment |
| 88:25 | | For to Us will be their return |
| 88:26 | | Then it will be for Us to call them to account |
