In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
