1. 87:11

   But the wretched one will avoid it –

2. 87:12

   [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

3. 87:13

   Neither dying therein nor living.

4. 87:14

   He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

5. 87:15

   And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

6. 87:16

   But you prefer the worldly life,

7. 87:17

   While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

8. 87:18

   Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

9. 87:19

   The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

10. 88:1

    Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

11. 88:2

    [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

12. 88:3

    Working [hard] and exhausted.

13. 88:4

    They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

14. 88:5

    They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

15. 88:6

    For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

16. 88:7

    Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

17. 88:8

    [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

18. 88:9

    With their effort [they are] satisfied

19. 88:10

    In an elevated garden,

20. 88:11

    Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

21. 88:12

    Within it is a flowing spring.

22. 88:13

    Within it are couches raised high

23. 88:14

    And cups put in place

24. 88:15

    And cushions lined up

25. 88:16

    And carpets spread around.

26. 88:17

    Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

27. 88:18

    And at the sky - how it is raised?

28. 88:19

    And at the mountains - how they are erected?

29. 88:20

    And at the earth - how it is spread out?

30. 88:21

    So remind, [O Muḥammad]; you are only a reminder.

31. 88:22

    You are not over them a controller.
