Chapter 88 - "The Overwhelming Calamity"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
88.1: Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?
88.2: (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast,
88.3: Laboring, toiling,
88.4: Entering into burning fire,
88.5: Made to drink from a boiling spring.
88.6: They shall have no food but of thorns,
88.7: Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.
88.8: (Other) faces on that day shall be happy,
88.9: Well-pleased because of their striving,
88.10: In a lofty garden,
88.11: Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.
88.12: Therein is a fountain flowing,
88.13: Therein are thrones raised high,
88.14: And drinking-cups ready placed,
88.15: And cushions set in a row,
88.16: And carpets spread out.
88.17: Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?
88.18: And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,
88.19: And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,
88.20: And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?
88.21: Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.
88.22: You are not a watcher over them;
88.23: But whoever turns back and disbelieves,
88.24: Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.
88.25: Surely to Us is their turning back,
88.26: Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.
