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

Surahs

[1] HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event?'

[2] Some faces will on that Day be downcast,

[3] toiling [under burdens of sin], worn out [by fear],

[4] about to enter a glowing fire,

[5] given to drink from a boiling spring.

[6] No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns,

[7] which gives no strength and neither stills hunger.

[8] [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss,

[9] well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving,

[10] in a garden sublime,

[11] wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk.

[12] Countless springs will flow therein,

[13] [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high,

[14] and goblets placed ready,

[15] and cushions ranged,

[16] and carpets spread out…

[17] DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created?

[18] And at the sky, how it is raised aloft?

[19] And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared?

[20] And at the earth, how it is spread out?

[21] And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort:

[22] thou canst not compel them [to believe].

[23] However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth,

[24] him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]:

[25] for behold, unto Us will be their return,

[26] and verily, It is for Us to call them to account.
