| Surah 88. Al-Gashiya | |||
| 1 | Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? | ||
| 2 | On that day ( many ) faces will be downcast, | ||
| 3 | Toiling, weary, | ||
| 4 | Scorched by burning fire, | ||
| 5 | Drinking from a boiling spring, | ||
| 6 | No food for them save bitter thorn fruit | ||
| 7 | Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. | ||
| 8 | In that day other faces will be calm, | ||
| 9 | Glad for their effort past, | ||
| 10 | In a high garden | ||
| 11 | Where they hear no idle speech, | ||
| 12 | Wherein is a gushing spring, | ||
| 13 | Wherein are couches raised | ||
| 14 | And goblets set at hand | ||
| 15 | And cushions ranged | ||
| 16 | And silken carts spread | ||
| 17 | Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? | ||
| 18 | And the heaven, how it is railed? | ||
| 19 | And the hills, how they are set up? | ||
| 20 | And the earth, how it is spread? | ||
| 21 | Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, | ||
| 22 | Thou art not at all a warder over them. | ||
| 23 | But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, | ||
| 24 | Allah will punish him with direst punishment. | ||
| 25 | Lo! unto Us is their return | ||
| 26 | And Ours their reckoning. | ||
