In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a return for the insolent, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
