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
