In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
