88:1
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event
88:2
On that Day, there shall be downcast faces
88:3
labouring, weary
88:4
they shall enter a burning Fir
88:5
and will be made to drink from a boiling spring
88:6
they shall have no food but thorns
88:7
which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
88:8
Some faces on that Day will be radiant
88:9
well pleased with the result of their striving
88:10
in a sublime garden
88:11
where they will hear no idle talk
88:12
with a flowing spring
88:13
raised couches
88:14
and goblets set at hand
88:15
cushions ranged
88:16
and carpets spread out
88:17
Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created
88:18
and on the sky, how it is raised aloft
88:19
and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up
88:20
and on the earth, how it is spread out
88:21
So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort
88:22
you are not their keeper
88:23
But whoever turns back and denies the truth
88:24
will be punished by God with the greatest punishment
88:25
Certainly, it is to Us that they will return
88:26
Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account
