"Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks." — Holy Qur'an 5:6
Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
088.001 | Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? |
088.002 | Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, |
088.003 | Labouring (hard), weary,- |
088.004 | The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- |
088.005 | The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, |
088.006 | No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' |
088.007 | Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. |
088.008 | (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, |
088.009 | Pleased with their striving,- |
088.010 | In a Garden on high, |
088.011 | Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: |
088.012 | Therein will be a bubbling spring: |
088.013 | Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, |
088.014 | Goblets placed (ready), |
088.015 | And cushions set in rows, |
088.016 | And rich carpets (all) spread out. |
088.017 | Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- |
088.018 | And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- |
088.019 | And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- |
088.020 | And at the Earth, how it is spread out? |
088.021 | Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. |
088.022 | Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. |
088.023 | But if any turn away and reject God,- |
088.024 | God will punish him with a mighty Punishment, |
088.025 | For to Us will be their return; |
088.026 | Then it will be for Us to call them to account. |
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.
