In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
