| | Farook Malik rendition of Surah The Overwhelming, The Overwhelming Calamity, The Pall(al-Ghashiyah) --- |
---|
88:1 | | Has the news of the over shadowing event of resurrection reached you |
88:2 | | On that Day some faces shall be downcast |
88:3 | | in hard labor, worn out |
88:4 | | scorching in the blazing fire |
88:5 | | given to drink from a boiling fountain |
88:6 | | They shall have no food except bitter thorny fruit |
88:7 | | which will neither provide nourishment nor satisfy hunger |
88:8 | | While some faces on that Day shall be radiant |
88:9 | | well pleased with their endeavors |
88:10 | | in a lofty garden |
88:11 | | Therein they shall hear no loose talk |
88:12 | | Therein they shall have running springs |
88:13 | | Therein they shall be reclining on raised soft couches |
88:14 | | with goblets placed before them |
88:15 | | silky cushions ranged in orde |
88:16 | | and fine carpets richly spread |
88:17 | | Do they not look at the camels, how they were created |
88:18 | | The heaven, how it was raised high |
88:19 | | The mountains, how they were firmly set |
88:20 | | And the earth, how it is spread out |
88:21 | | So keep on giving admonition, for you are an admonishe |
88:22 | | not a taskmaster over them |
88:23 | | As for those who turn their backs and disbelieve |
88:24 | | Allah will punish them with the mighty punishment |
88:25 | | Surely to Us is their return |
88:26 | | then surely it is for Us to take their account |
