88:1 Has the news of the overwhelming event (of Resurrection) reached you?

88:2 On that Day (some) faces will be downcast,

88:3 (totally) overburdened and exhausted.

88:4 They will (be thrown in Hell to) burn in an intensely hot Fire,

88:5 and will be given drinks from a boiling spring.

88:6 They will have no food except a foul, thorny shrub,

88:7 that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

88:8 On that Day (some) faces will be glowing with bliss.

88:9 (They will be) pleased with (the outcome of) their (virtuous) efforts (in the world),

88:10 (sitting) in an elevated Garden (of Paradise),

88:11 where they will hear no idle talk.

88:12 Therein they shall have running springs.

88:13 They will be on thrones raised high,

88:14 with goblets placed before them;

88:15 silky cushions ranged in order,

88:16 and (splendid) carpets spread out.

88:17 Do they (the disbelievers who deny the Resurrection) not look at the camels, how they are created?

88:18 and the sky, how it was raised (high);

88:19 and at the mountains; how (firmly) are they fixed?

88:20 And  how the earth is spread out?

88:21 So, (continue to) remind (them). Indeed, you are (an Apostle ﷺ) to remind (them).

88:22 (But you are not responsible if they deny,  as) You are not  a warden over them.

88:23 Whoever turns away and rejects the truth,

88:24 then Allah will inflict upon him the severe punishment.

88:25 Certainly, to Us will be their return,

88:26   then, certainly it is for Us to call them to account.
