In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a fitting requital, 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
