| 88:1 | | Hath there come Unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? |
| 88:2 | | Faces on that Day shall be downcast, |
| 88:3 | | Travailing, worn. |
| 88:4 | | They shall roast into the scalding Fire, |
| 88:5 | | Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. |
| 88:6 | | No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, |
| 88:7 | | Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. |
| 88:8 | | Faces on that Day shall be de lighted, |
| 88:9 | | With their endeavour well pleased. |
| 88:10 | | They shall be in a Garden lofty: |
| 88:11 | | They shall hear therein no vain discourse; |
| 88:12 | | Therein shall be a spring running! |
| 88:13 | | Therein shall be couches elevated! |
| 88:14 | | And goblets ready placed! |
| 88:15 | | And cushions ranged! |
| 88:16 | | And carpets ready spread, |
| 88:17 | | Look they not at the camels, how they are created? |
| 88:18 | | And at the heaven, how it is raised? |
| 88:19 | | And at the mountains, how they are rooted? |
| 88:20 | | And at the earth, how it is outspread? |
| 88:21 | | Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. |
| 88:22 | | Thou art not over them a warden. |
| 88:23 | | But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve - |
| 88:24 | | Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. |
| 88:25 | | Verily Unto us is their reckoning. |
| 88:26 | | Then verily on us is their reckoning. |
