Pickthall, Surah 88: The Overwhelming (Al-Ghaashiya)

=> Surahs

[1] Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

[2] On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

[3] Toiling, 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.

[8] 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,

[13] Wherein are couches raised

[14] And goblets set at hand

[15] And cushions ranged

[16] And silken carpets spread.

[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?

[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.

[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.
