In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely the Hell is 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 They will abide therein for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
