In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
