In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
