Surah al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming, The Overwhelming Calamity, The Pall) - Abdel Haleem Translation

Ads have been removed.

88:1 Have you heard tell [Prophet] about the Overwhelming Event

88:2 On that Day, there will be downcast faces

88:3 toiling and weary

88:4 as they enter the blazing Fir

88:5 and are forced to drink from a boiling spring

88:6 with no food for them except bitter dry thorn

88:7 that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger

88:8 On that Day there will also be faces radiant with bliss

88:9 well pleased with their labour

88:10 in a lofty garden

88:11 where they will hear no idle talk

88:12 with a flowing spring

88:13 raised couches

88:14 goblets placed before them

88:15 cushions set in rows

88:16 and carpets spread

88:17 Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed

88:18 how the heavens are lifted

88:19 how the mountains are raised high

88:20 how the earth is spread out

88:21 So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning

88:22 you are not there to control them

88:23 As for those who turn away and disbelieve

88:24 God will inflict the greatest torment upon them

88:25 It is to Us they will return

88:26 and then it is for Us to call them to account
