Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar
88:1
Approached thee the discourse of the Overwhelming Event?
88:2
Faces on that Day
will be
ones that are humbled,
88:3
ones that work and ones that are fatigued,
88:4
roasting in a hot fire.
88:5
They will be given to drink from boiling receptacles.
88:6
Is it not that
there is
no food for them but a thorny fruit.
88:7
It will not fatten nor will it avail hunger.
88:8
Faces on that Day
will be
ones that are pleasant,
88:9
ones who are well-pleased by their endeavoring
88:10
in a magnificent Garden.
88:11
They will hear no babble in it.
88:12
In it is a running spring.
88:13
In it
are
exalted couches
88:14
and goblets that are set down
88:15
and cushions arrayed
88:16
and rugs, ones that are dispersed.
88:17
Will they not, then, look on the camel, how it was created?
88:18
And of the heaven, how it was lifted up?
88:19
And the mountains, how they were hoisted up?
88:20
And the earth, how it was stretched out?
88:21
Then, remind for thou
art
only one who reminds.
88:22
Thou
art
not over them one who is a register of
their deeds
.
88:23
But whoever turned away and is one who is ungrateful,
88:24
God will punish him with the greater punishment.
88:25
Truly, to Us
is
their reversion.
88:26
Again, truly, on Us
is
their reckoning.
