"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.
