In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 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 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
