88 The Enveloper -Al-Ghashiyah

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[88.1] Have you received the news of the Enveloper?

[88.2] On that Day faces shall be humbled,

[88.3] laboring, wornout,

[88.4] roasting at a scorching Fire

[88.5] that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain,

[88.6] no food for them except thorny plants

[88.7] which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger.

[88.8] (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful,

[88.9] well pleased with their striving,

[88.10] in a Garden on high,

[88.11] where they will hear no idle talk.

[88.12] A gushing fountain shall be there

[88.13] and raised couches,

[88.14] and prepared goblets,

[88.15] and arranged cushions

[88.16] and outspread carpets.

[88.17] What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created?

[88.18] And how the heaven was raised up,

[88.19] and how the mountains were firmly fixed?

[88.20] And how the earth was outstretched?

[88.21] Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder.

[88.22] You are not charged to oversee them.

[88.23] As for those who turn their back and disbelieve,

[88.24] Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment.

[88.25] Indeed, to Us they shall return,

[88.26] then upon Us shall rest their reckoning.
