In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
