88. THE OVERWHELMING
THE PALL

Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 26 verses.

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.
