Surah Number : 88

The Number of Verses : 26

أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّـيْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْمِ
 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

 

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

 

Working [hard] and exhausted.

 

They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

 

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

 

For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant,

 

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.



 

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

 

With their effort [they are] satisfied

 

In an elevated garden,

 

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

 

Within it is a flowing spring.

 

Within it are couches raised high,

 

And cups put in place,

 

And cushions lined up,

 

And carpets spread around.

 

Then do they not look at the camels – how they are created?

 

And at the sky – how it is raised?



 

And at the mountains – how they are erected?

 

And at the earth – how it is spread out?

 

So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

 

You are not over them a controller.



 

However, he who turns away and disbelieves –

 

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

 

Indeed, to Us is their return.

 

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
