In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 The night a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
