In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 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 except boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
