In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
