In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a fitting requital, 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
