The Overwhelming
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful: [88:1]
Has there come to you the tiding of the Enveloper?

[88:2]
Some faces on that day will be humbled,

[88:3]
toiling, weary,

[88:4]
roasting in a scorching fire,

[88:5]
made to drink from a boiling spring.

[88:6]
They will have no food except cactus,

[88:7]
neither nourishing, nor availing against hunger.

[88:8]
Other faces on that day will be delicate,

[88:9]
pleased by their efforts;

[88:10]
in a lofty Garden,

[88:11]
in which they will not hear any vanity;

[88:12]
therein is a running spring;

[88:13]
therein are lofty couches,

[88:14]
and goblets set,

[88:15]
and cushions arrayed,

[88:16]
and carpets spread out.

[88:17]
Will they not consider the camels, how they are created?

[88:18]
And the heaven, how it was raised?

[88:19]
And the mountains, how they were set?

[88:20]
And the earth, how it was laid out flat?,

[88:21]
So remind. For you are only an admonisher;

[88:22]
you are not a taskmaster over them.

[88:23]
But he who turns away and disbelieves,

[88:24]
God will chastise him with the greater chastisement.

[88:25]
Truly to Us will be their return,

[88:26]
then truly with Us will lie their reckoning.
