In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of 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 Living therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
