| 88:1 | | There has reached you the news of the overwhelming event (- the Resurrection) |
| 88:2 | | Some persons shall be downcast and humble that day |
| 88:3 | | Toil-worn and weary |
| 88:4 | | They shall enter a blazing Fire |
| 88:5 | | They shall be made to drink from a spring of boiling hot water |
| 88:6 | | Dry, bitter and thorny herbage shall be their only food |
| 88:7 | | Which neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger |
| 88:8 | | On that day some (other) persons will be fresh and joyful |
| 88:9 | | Well-satisfied with (the fruit of) their (pious) strivings |
| 88:10 | | (They will live) in a sublime Garden |
| 88:11 | | Wherein you will hear no vain talk |
| 88:12 | | It shall have a running spring |
| 88:13 | | It shall have thrones raised high |
| 88:14 | | And goblets properly set |
| 88:15 | | And cushions (beautifully) ranged in rows |
| 88:16 | | And velvety carpets (tastefully) spread |
| 88:17 | | Do the people not then look at the clouds and the camels, how they are made |
| 88:18 | | And at the heaven, how it is raised high |
| 88:19 | | And at the mountains, how they are set up |
| 88:20 | | And at the earth, how it is spread out |
| 88:21 | | Keep on admonishing (them even if they insist on shutting their eyes), so your duty is one of an admonisher |
| 88:22 | | You are not (appointed) a keeper, stern and hard, to (compel) them |
| 88:23 | | But as to him who turns away and disbelieves |
| 88:24 | | Allah shall punish him with the greatest punishment |
| 88:25 | | Verily, to Us is their ultimate return |
| 88:26 | | Then it is surely for Us to call them to account |
