88. al-Ghashiya: The Overwhelming Calamity

1
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ?

2
On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

3
Toiling, weary,

4
Scorched by burning fire,

5
Drinking from a boiling spring,

6
No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

7
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

8
In that day other faces will be calm,

9
Glad for their effort past,

10
In a high Garden

11
Where they hear no idle speech,

12
Wherein is a gushing spring,

13
Wherein are couches raised

14
And goblets set at hand


1 Back to Top

15
And cushions ranged

16
And silken carpets spread.

17
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?

18
And the heaven, how it is raised ?

19
And the hills, how they are set up ?

20
And the earth, how it is spread ?

21
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

22
Thou art not at all a warder over them.

23
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

24
Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

25
Lo! unto Us is their return

26
And Ours their reckoning.
