| 88:1 | | Has the news of the over shadowing event of resurrection reached you? |
| 88:2 | | On that Day some faces shall be downcast, |
| 88:3 | | in hard labor, worn out, |
| 88:4 | | scorching in the blazing fire, |
| 88:5 | | given to drink from a boiling fountain. |
| 88:6 | | They shall have no food except bitter thorny fruit, |
| 88:7 | | which will neither provide nourishment nor satisfy hunger. |
| 88:8 | | While some faces on that Day shall be radiant, |
| 88:9 | | well pleased with their endeavors, |
| 88:10 | | in a lofty garden. |
| 88:11 | | Therein they shall hear no loose talk. |
| 88:12 | | Therein they shall have running springs. |
| 88:13 | | Therein they shall be reclining on raised soft couches, |
| 88:14 | | with goblets placed before them; |
| 88:15 | | silky cushions ranged in order |
| 88:16 | | and fine carpets richly spread. |
| 88:17 | | Do they not look at the camels, how they were created? |
| 88:18 | | The heaven, how it was raised high? |
| 88:19 | | The mountains, how they were firmly set? |
| 88:20 | | And the earth, how it is spread out? |
| 88:21 | | So keep on giving admonition, for you are an admonisher |
| 88:22 | | not a taskmaster over them. |
| 88:23 | | As for those who turn their backs and disbelieve, |
| 88:24 | | Allah will punish them with the mighty punishment. |
| 88:25 | | Surely to Us is their return, |
| 88:26 | | then surely it is for Us to take their account. |
