88. Al-Ghashiyah

1
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

2
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

3
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Toiling, weary,

4
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Scorched by burning fire,

5
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Drinking from a boiling spring,

6
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

7
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

8
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

In that day other faces will be calm,

9
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Glad for their effort past,

10
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

In a high garden

11
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Where they hear no idle speech,

12
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Wherein is a gushing spring,

13
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Wherein are couches raised

14
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And goblets set at hand

15
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And cushions ranged

16
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And silken carpets spread.

17
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?

18
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And the heaven, how it is raised?

19
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And the hills, how they are set up?

20
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And the earth, how it is spread?

21
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

22
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Thou art not at all a warder over them.

23
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

24
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

25
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Lo! unto Us is their return

26
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And Ours their reckoning.
