In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
