87:11 but the wretched will avoid it,

87:12 who will enter the Great Fire,

87:13 wherein he will neither die nor live.

87:14 Indeed, he who purifies himself will attain success,

87:15 and remembers his Lord’s Name and prays.

87:16 But you prefer the life of this world,

87:17 even though the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

87:18 Indeed, this was in the earlier Scriptures,

87:19 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

88:1 Has there come to you the story of the Overwhelming Event?

88:2 On that Day, some faces will be humiliated,

88:3 overburdened and weary[1],

88:4 as they burn in a scorching Fire.

88:5 They will be made to drink from a boiling spring,

88:6 and they will have no food except bitter thorny plants,

88:7 that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

88:8 Other faces on that Day will be joyful,

88:9 well-pleased with their past striving,

88:10 in an elevated garden,

88:11 wherein no idle talk will be heard[1].

88:12 There will be a flowing spring;

88:13 and couches raised high,

88:14 and cups placed ready,

88:15 and cushions lined up,

88:16 and splendid carpets spread out.

88:17 Do they not reflect on the camel, how it is created;

88:18 and the sky, how it is raised high;

88:19 and the mountains, how they are firmly set up;

88:20 and the earth, how it is spread out?

88:21 So remind [O Prophet]; your duty is only to remind;

88:22 you are not assigned to compel them.
