88:1  Has the story of the Pall ever reached you?

88:2  Some faces will be downcast on that day,

88:3  laboring, toiling.

88:4  They will roast in a scorching fire;

88:5  offered a boiling spring to drink from,

88:6  they will have no food except some cactus

88:7  which will neither fatten (them) nor satisfy their hunger.

88:8  Other faces will be blissful on that day,

88:9  pleased with their effort,

88:10  (dwelling) in a lofty garden.

88:11  No loose talk will be heard in it.

88:12  There will be a flowing spring there;

88:13  by it couches will be raised up,

88:14  glasses set in place,

88:15  cushions lined up

88:16  and carpets spread around.

88:17  Do they not consider how camels have been created?

88:18  Nor how the sky has been lifted up?

88:19  Nor how the mountains have been erected?

88:20  Nor even how the earth has been flattened out?

88:21  So remind: you need only to remind!

88:22  You are no taskmaster set up over them,

88:23  except for someone who turns away and disbelieves;

88:24  God will punish him with the worst torment.

88:25  Toward Us lies their retreat;

88:26  then their reckoning will fall on Us.
