English - Chapter 88 - Al-Ghashiyah

Has the news of that overwhelming (calamity) reached you

(Many) faces that day would be (panic struck and) down cast

Weary and toiling

Burning in the scorching fire

Made to drink from the boiling spring

And having nothing to eat, except (the bitter thorny) cactus

Not enough to nourish or curb the hunger

(Other) faces that day would be happy (and blissful)

Well pleased with (the outcome of) their efforts

In the exalted paradise

There, they shall hear nothing vile or foolish

In paradise, there are gushing springs

And elevated thrones

And carved (exotic) goblets

And cushions set in rows

And spread out (lush rich) carpets

Do they not look at the camel (and wonder)? How (superbly) is it created

And at the sky; how (high) is it raised

And at the mountains; how (firmly) are they planted

And at the earth; how (wide) is it spread out

So, (continue to) remind (them). Indeed, you are (a messenger) to remind (them)

You are not (appointed) a warden over them

As for the one who turns away and disbelieves

Allah will punish him with the direst torment

Of course, back to Us is their return (journey)

Indeed, to call them to accounts is upon Us
