| 88:1 | | Have you heard the story of the Enveloper? | | 88:2 | | Some faces on that day are downcast, | | 88:3 | | labour weary, worn out, | | 88:4 | | about to enter a scorching fire, | | 88:5 | | made to drink from a boiling fountain. | | 88:6 | | Their only food shall be nothing but dry thorns, | | 88:7 | | which will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. | | 88:8 | | Other faces on that day are jocund, | | 88:9 | | well-pleased with their striving, | | 88:10 | | in a sublime garden, | | 88:11 | | where they hear no babble. | | 88:12 | | A running fountain shall be there, | | 88:13 | | and raised couches, | | 88:14 | | and goblets placed ready, | | 88:15 | | and cushions laid in order, | | 88:16 | | and carpets spread out. | | 88:17 | | Let them reflect on the camels, how they were created; | | 88:18 | | and heaven, how it is raised aloft; | | 88:19 | | and the mountains, how they are hoisted; | | 88:20 | | and the earth, how it is spread out. | | 88:21 | | Therefore exhort them; your task is only to exhort. | | 88:22 | | You are not their overseer. | | 88:23 | | But he who turns his back and disbelieves, | | 88:24 | | God shall inflict on him the greatest suffering. | | 88:25 | | To Us they shall surely return, | | 88:26 | | when We shall bring them to account. |
