Surah Gaashiyah: The Overwhelming

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

088.001	Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?
088.002	Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,
088.003	Labouring (hard), weary,-
088.004	The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-
088.005	The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,
088.006	No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'
088.007	Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.
088.008	(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,
088.009	Pleased with their striving,-
088.010	In a Garden on high,
088.011	Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:
088.012	Therein will be a bubbling spring:
088.013	Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,
088.014	Goblets placed (ready),
088.015	And cushions set in rows,
088.016	And rich carpets (all) spread out.
088.017	Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-
088.018	And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-
088.019	And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-
088.020	And at the Earth, how it is spread out?
088.021	Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.
088.022	Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.
088.023	But if any turn away and reject God,-
088.024	God will punish him with a mighty Punishment,
088.025	For to Us will be their return;
088.026	Then it will be for Us to call them to account.

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
