In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
