88-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ?

88-2 : On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

88-3 : Toiling, weary,

88-4 : Scorched by burning fire,

88-5 : Drinking from a boiling spring,

88-6 : No food for them save bitter thorn - fruit

88-7 : Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

88-8 : In that day other faces will be calm,

88-9 : Glad for their effort past,

88-10 : In a high Garden

88-11 : Where they hear no idle speech,

88-12 : Wherein is a gushing spring,

88-13 : Wherein are couches raised

88-14 : And goblets set at hand

88-15 : And cushions ranged

88-16 : And silken carpets spread.

88-17 : Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?

88-18 : And the heaven, how it is raised ?

88-19 : And the hills, how they are set up ?

88-20 : And the earth, how it is spread ?

88-21 : Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

88-22 : Thou art not at all a warder over them.

88-23 : But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

88-24 : Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

88-25 : Lo! unto Us is their return

88-26 : And Ours their reckoning.
