IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Ghashiyah - The Overwhelming, The Overwhelming Calamity, The Pall as rendered by
Arthur John Arberry
88:1
Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper
88:2
Faces on that day humbled
88:3
labouring, toilworn
88:4
roasting at a scorching fire
88:5
watered at a boiling fountain
88:6
no food for them but cactus thor
88:7
unfattening, unappeasing hunger
88:8
Faces on that day jocund
88:9
with their striving well-pleased
88:10
in a sublime Garden
88:11
hearing there no babble
88:12
therein a running fountain
88:13
therein uplifted couche
88:14
and goblets set fort
88:15
and cushions arraye
88:16
and carpets outspread
88:17
What, do they not consider how the camel was created
88:18
how heaven was lifted up
88:19
how the mountains were hoisted
88:20
how the earth was outstretched
88:21
Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder
88:22
thou art not charged to oversee them
88:23
But he who turns his back, and disbelieves
88:24
God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement
88:25
Truly, to Us is their return
88:26
then upon Us shall rest their reckoning
