In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
