In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
