In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
