* | quran | * | 88. al-ghashiya. the overwhelming calamity      <   > 

sarwar
 
1.  *     Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)?
 
2.  *     On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down,
 
3.  *     troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past.
 
4.  *     They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire
 
5.  *     and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring.
 
6.  *     They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit
 
7.  *     which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them.
 
8.  *     However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy.
 
9.  *     and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past.
 
10.  *     They will live in an exalted garden
 
11.  *     wherein they will not hear any vain talk.
 
12.  *     Therein will be a flowing spring,
 
13.  *     raised couches,
 
14.  *     well arranged goblets,
 
15.  *     well-placed cushions,
 
16.  *     and well spread carpets.
 
17.  *     Have they not looked at how the camel is created,
 
18.  *     how the heavens are raised up high,
 
19.  *     how the mountains are set firm,
 
20.  *     and how the earth is spread out?
 
21.  *     (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher.
 
22.  *     You do not have full control over them.
 
23.  *     However, those who turn away and disbelieve,
 
24.  *     God will punish them with the greatest torment.
 
25.  *     To Us they will all return.
 
26.  *     In Our hands are their accounts.
