Al-Ghashiyah
Translation: Pickthall
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 88:1
On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 88:2
Toiling, weary, 88:3
Scorched by burning fire, 88:4
Drinking from a boiling spring, 88:5
No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 88:6
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 88:7
In that day other faces will be calm, 88:8
Glad for their effort past, 88:9
In a high Garden 88:10
Where they hear no idle speech, 88:11
Wherein is a gushing spring, 88:12
Wherein are couches raised 88:13
And goblets set at hand 88:14
And cushions ranged 88:15
And silken carpets spread. 88:16
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 88:17
And the heaven, how it is raised? 88:18
And the hills, how they are set up? 88:19
And the earth, how it is spread? 88:20
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 88:21
Thou art not at all a warder over them. 88:22
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 88:23
Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 88:24
Lo! unto Us is their return 88:25
And Ours their reckoning. 88:26
