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. |
