| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah The Overwhelming, The Overwhelming Calamity, The Pall(al-Ghashiyah)
--- |
|---|
| 88:1 | | Has the Hadees regarding Al-Ghashiyah (The overwhelming event) reached you |
| 88:2 | | Some faces that Day would be lowering themselves (in humiliation) |
| 88:3 | | breathing with much effort, weary in look |
| 88:4 | | they enter the fire that heats up (the human body giving it severe burns which dissolve the skin) |
| 88:5 | | they will be given to drink from a boiling hot spring |
| 88:6 | | There is not for them a food except out of poisonous thorny plant |
| 88:7 | | It provides no nourishment and nor provides relief from hunger |
| 88:8 | | (Some) faces that Day (will be)in full joy |
| 88:9 | | Regarding their endeavour — (these faces are) glad (and self satisfied) |
| 88:10 | | in Garden raised high |
| 88:11 | | These (people) shall not hear therein senseless speech |
| 88:12 | | Therein is a running spring |
| 88:13 | | Therein are beds raised high |
| 88:14 | | and cups set beautifully |
| 88:15 | | and cushions set in rows |
| 88:16 | | and rich carpets spread out |
| 88:17 | | Do they then not look at the camels, how they are created |
| 88:18 | | and to the heaven, how it is raised |
| 88:19 | | and to the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm |
| 88:20 | | and at the earth, how it has been evenly spread out |
| 88:21 | | So do propagate; surely, what (is a fact is that) you are Muzakkir |
| 88:22 | | You are not over them Musaitir |
| 88:23 | | But whoever turned away and disbelieved |
| 88:24 | | then Allah will punish him with a greater punishment (in the Hereafter) |
| 88:25 | | Surely, towards Us is their final Return |
| 88:26 | | Then surely, on Us is their Accountability |
