1 | Hast thou received the story of the Enveloper? | Sura 88:19 is referenced on Islam and Science: Errors in the Qur'an and Arab Education: 3. Geology Mistakes. |
2 | Faces on that day humbled, | |
3 | labouring, toilworn, | |
4 | roasting at a scorching fire, | |
5 | watered at a boiling fountain, | |
6 | no food for them but cactus thorn | |
7 | unfattening, unappeasing hunger. | |
8 | Faces on that day jocund, | |
9 | with their striving well-pleased, | |
10 | in a sublime Garden, | |
11 | hearing there no babble; | |
12 | therein a running fountain, | |
13 | therein uplifted couches | |
14 | and goblets set forth | |
15 | and cushions arrayed | |
16 | and carpets outspread. | |
17 | What, do they not consider how the camel was created, | |
18 | how heaven was lifted up, | |
19 | how the mountains were hoisted, | |
20 | how the earth was outstretched? | |
21 | Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; | |
22 | thou art not charged to oversee them. | |
23 | But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, | |
24 | God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. | |
25 | Truly, to Us is their return; | |
26 | then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. |
