Chapter 88: (Al-Ghashiyah: The Overwhelming
Event) Chapter
88: (Al-Ghashiyah: The Overwhelming
Event) 1.
Introduction: 2. Translation: 1 Has there come to thee the news of the Overwhelming Event?a 2 Faces on that day will be downcast, 5 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 6 They will have no food but of thorns, 7 Neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger. 8 Faces on that day will be happy, 11 Wherein thou wilt hear no vain talk. 12 Therein is a fountain flowing. 13 Therein are thrones raised high, 14 And drinking-cups ready placed, 17 See they not the clouds,a how they are created? 18 And the heaven, how it is raised high? 19 And the mountains, how they are fixed? 20 And the earth, how it is spread out? 21 So remind. Thou art only one to remind. 22 Thou art not a warder over them — 23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 25 Surely to Us is their return. 26 Then it is for Us to call them to account. 3. Commentary: 17a. Ibil means clouds that bear the water for rain (T, LL). As this significance suits the context better, I adopt this instead of the usual rendering, the camels, the mention of the clouds along with the heavens, where they exist, and with mountains, which cool the vapours so that they pour down water, and the earth, which benefits by that water, being in accordance with what is said in many other places. [Back to verse 17]
