Reflection on the Day of Judgment

This passage describes the events of the Day of Judgment. It states that on that day, some faces will be downcast and weary as they enter a hot fire and drink boiling water. Their only food will be from a bitter thorn tree that will not nourish or satisfy their hunger. In contrast, other faces will be happy and pleased due to their good deeds, as they reside in a beautiful garden with flowing springs, couches, cushions and carpets. The passage reminds people to reflect on creation like camels, the sky, mountains and earth, and that the prophet's role is only to remind - not compel - while those who disbelieve will face punishment from God and ultimately return to Him for judgment.

C 88

88. THE COVERING

The Covering

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. Have the details of the happenings on the (day of the final) covering come to you? 2. Faces on that day will be downcast, 3. labouring, weary, 4. entering very hot fire, 5. being made to drink from boiling spring. 6. There will be no food for them except that from the thorn tree. 7. It will neither be nourishable by them nor will it make them free from hunger. 8. (Other) faces that day will be happy, 9. pleased on account of the effort they had put in earlier. 10. (They will be) in a high garden, 11. therein you will not hear useless talk, 12. therein is a flowing spring, 13. therein are raised couches 14. and drinking cups placed ready (for use) 15. and cushions set in rows, 16. and carpets spread. 17. So do they not see towards the camel how it is created, 18. and towards the sky how it is raised, 19. and towards the mountains how they are rooted 20. and towards the earth how it is spread? 21. So remind, you are only to remind. 22. You are not in authority over them. 23. But one who turns away and does not believe, 24. so he will be punished by Allah with a great punishment. 25. Their return is certainly towards Us, 26. then certainly, it is on Us to take their account. (R 1, P 29 )
