| 88:1 | | Has the story of the Pall ever reached you? | | 88:2 | | Some faces will be downcast on that day, | | 88:3 | | laboring, toiling. | | 88:4 | | They will roast in a scorching fire; | | 88:5 | | offered a boiling spring to drink from, | | 88:6 | | they will have no food except some cactus | | 88:7 | | which will neither fatten (them) nor satisfy their hunger. | | 88:8 | | Other faces will be blissful on that day, | | 88:9 | | pleased with their effort, | | 88:10 | | (dwelling) in a lofty garden. | | 88:11 | | No loose talk will be heard in it. | | 88:12 | | There will be a flowing spring there; | | 88:13 | | by it couches will be raised up, | | 88:14 | | glasses set in place, | | 88:15 | | cushions lined up | | 88:16 | | and carpets spread around. | | 88:17 | | Do they not consider how camels have been created? | | 88:18 | | Nor how the sky has been lifted up? | | 88:19 | | Nor how the mountains have been erected? | | 88:20 | | Nor even how the earth has been flattened out? | | 88:21 | | So remind: you need only to remind! | | 88:22 | | You are no taskmaster set up over them, | | 88:23 | | except for someone who turns away and disbelieves; | | 88:24 | | God will punish him with the worst torment. | | 88:25 | | Toward Us lies their retreat; | | 88:26 | | then their reckoning will fall on Us. |
