1 Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?
2 On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
3 Toiling, weary,
On that day (many) faces will be downcast ... Scorched by burning fire, Drinking from a boiling spring. 88:2
88:1-71 Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?
2 On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
3 Toiling, weary,
Have you heard the tidings of the overwhelming?
On that day many will be sad and 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.
Scorched by the fire,
drinking from a spring of boiling water,
with only bitter thorn-fruit to eat.
88:8-268 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,
Others will be calmly sit in a garden,
13 Wherein are couches raised
on high couches,
drinking from goblets,
17 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?
18 And the heaven, how it is raised?
19 And the hills, how they are set up?
considering camels, heaven, hills,
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.
and the spread-out earth. [1]
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.
But Allah will punish those who disbelieve
with the most severe punishment.
