- 88:1
- Have you been informed of the great talk apropos the overwhelming Event?
- 88:2
- Some faces are then incensed with humiliation
- 88:3
- Reflecting the heedless life they spent uselessly, unprofitably and improvidently; and now they look faint and sick with travail and fear
- 88:4
- They are entering into Hell, to suffer the intense heat of the blazing Fire
- 88:5
- Only to be given to drink from water bubbling in agitation and issuing from a boiling hot spring
- 88:6
- And nothing will they feed on but poisonous, noxious, foul thorny shrubs
- 88:7
- Which neither nourish nor pacify their hunger pains
- 88:8
- There will be other faces radiant with delight
- 88:9
- Pleased with doing their endeavour in life lifting to Allah their inward sight
- 88:10
- Enjoying the exalted gardens of Bliss
- 88:11
- No matter of little value or insignificance will they hear therein, nor will they hear ill - tongues or what is morally evil
- 88:12
- Therein is water streaming forth from a delightful spring
- 88:13
- Therein are dignified seats covered with embroidered cloth woven in gold and ornamented with brocade
- 88:14
- And drinking glasses set at hand
- 88:15
- And cushions, ranked in rows, so bedecked and ornate
- 88:16
- And rich carpets all round
- 88:17
- Do they - the pagan Arabs - not ponder how camels* were created
- 88:18
- How the heavens* have been distantly elevated
- 88:19
- How the mountains* which stabilize the earth have been firmly erected
- 88:20
- And how the earth has been expanded* and prepared for life thereon
- 88:21
- You just continue to exhort the people, for you are here to put them in mind of Alla
- 88:22
- And no authority have you over them
- 88:23
- But he whose attitude has served to disincline him from doing reverence to Allah and to turn a deaf ear to all He has ordained
- 88:24
- Will He requite him with a condign punishment and in Hell will he forever, be detained
- 88:25
- Unto Us shall be their return
- 88:26
- And then, their judgement will be Our concern
