| 88:1 | | Has news of the Awe-inspiring Event reached you? |
| 88:2 | | Some faces that Day will be humbled, |
| 88:3 | | looking tired and exhausted. |
| 88:4 | | They will walk in to an intensely-hot Fire, |
| 88:5 | | and drink from a boiling water spring. |
| 88:6 | | They will have no food except bitter thorns, |
| 88:7 | | which won’t nourish or satisfy their hunger |
| 88:8 | | Some faces that Day will be beautiful and bright, |
| 88:9 | | well-pleased with their efforts, |
| 88:10 | | living in an elegant Garden, |
| 88:11 | | where they won’t hear any idle chat, |
| 88:12 | | watered by a flowing spring, |
| 88:13 | | furnished with raised and comfortable sofas, |
| 88:14 | | wine glasses gracefully arranged, |
| 88:15 | | silken cushions set in rows, |
| 88:16 | | and luxurious soft carpets laid all around |
| 88:17 | | Don’t they see the camels, how they were created? |
| 88:18 | | And the sky, how it was raised? |
| 88:19 | | And the mountains, how they were fixed? |
| 88:20 | | And at the Earth, how it was spread out? |
| 88:21 | | So remind, Prophet, your job is to remind. |
| 88:22 | | You aren’t their controller. |
| 88:23 | | The one who turned away and disbelieved, |
| 88:24 | | Allah will give him terrible punishment. |
| 88:25 | | They will finally return to Us, |
| 88:26 | | and We will call them to account |
