"Lo! the righteous verily are in delight, On couches, gazing, Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight." — Holy Qur'an 83:22-24
Holy Quran Verses from Pickthall's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
088.001 | Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? |
088.002 | On that day (many) faces will be downcast, |
088.003 | Toiling, weary, |
088.004 | Scorched by burning fire, |
088.005 | Drinking from a boiling spring, |
088.006 | No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit |
088.007 | Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. |
088.008 | In that day other faces will be calm, |
088.009 | Glad for their effort past, |
088.010 | In a high Garden |
088.011 | Where they hear no idle speech, |
088.012 | Wherein is a gushing spring, |
088.013 | Wherein are couches raised |
088.014 | And goblets set at hand |
088.015 | And cushions ranged |
088.016 | And silken carpets spread. |
088.017 | Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? |
088.018 | And the heaven, how it is raised? |
088.019 | And the hills, how they are set up? |
088.020 | And the earth, how it is spread? |
088.021 | Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, |
088.022 | Thou art not at all a warder over them. |
088.023 | But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, |
088.024 | Allah will punish him with direst punishment. |
088.025 | Lo! unto Us is their return |
088.026 | And Ours their reckoning. |
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.
