AL GHAASYIYAH

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 88-1

Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

 88-2

Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

 88-3

Labouring (hard), weary,-

 88-4

The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

 88-5

The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

 88-6

No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari’

 88-7

Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

 88-8

(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

 88-9

Pleased with their striving,-

 88-10

In a Garden on high,

 88-11

Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

 88-12

Therein will be a bubbling spring:

 88-13

Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

 88-14

Goblets placed (ready),

 88-15

And cushions set in rows,

 88-16

And rich carpets (all) spread out.

 88-17

Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

 88-18

And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

 88-19

And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

 88-20

And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

 88-21

Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

 88-22

Thou art not one to manage (men’s) affairs.

 88-23

But if any turn away and reject God,-

 88-24

God will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

 88-25

For to Us will be their return;

 88-26

Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
