88.The Overwhelming

  1. Have you heard tell [Prophet] about the Overwhelming Event
  2. On that Day, there will be downcast faces
  3. toiling and weary
  4. as they enter the blazing Fire
  5. and are forced to drink from a boiling spring
  6. with no food for them except bitter dry thorns
  7. that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
  8. On that Day there will also be faces radiant with bliss
  9. well pleased with their labour
  10. in a lofty garden
  11. where they will hear no idle talk
  12. with a flowing spring
  13. raised couches
  14. goblets placed before them
  15. cushions set in rows
  16. and carpets spread
  17. Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed
  18. how the heavens are lifted
  19. how the mountains are raised high
  20. how the earth is spread out
  21. So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning
  22. you are not there to control them
  23. As for those who turn away and disbelieve
  24. God will inflict the greatest torment upon them
  25. It is to Us they will return
  26. and then it is for Us to call them to account
