CHAP. LXXXVIII. The Chapter of the Covering, containing twenty six verses, written at Mecca.
Gelaldin intituleth this, The Chapter of Iudgment, because that day the damned shall be covered with fire and fear. See Exteri.
IN the name of God, gracious and merciful. Hast thou heard mention of the covering? That day shall the countenance of the wicked be covered with affliction, they shall enter into fire that is extreamly hot; they shall drink of boyling wa∣ter, they shall eat nothing but bryers and thorns; they shall be extreamly lean, and famine shall not deliver them from an infinite number of other miseries. That day shall the good be filled with content, they shall be recompenced or their la∣bours; in Paradise they shall hear nothing spoken that may displease them; they shall see fountains flow, lying upon high beds, they shall drink in fair glasses, fixed on diamonds, upon pillows well disposed, and upon pallets well adorned; will
not the wicked consider the Miracle of the she-Camel? How it was created? How Heaven was elevated? How the Mountains were disposed, how the Earth was extended? Preach to the wicked the pains of Hell, thou art sent to preach to them, and not to constrain them. God will chastise with his great chastisement him that shall abandon his Law, and traduce the Alcoran; all men shall be one day assembled before his Divine Majesty, to give account of their actions.
