[O MEN!] Are you more difficult to create than the heaven which He has built? 27 High has He reared its vault and formed it in accordance with what it was meant to be; 28 and He has made dark its night and brought forth its light of day. 29 And the earth He extended after that; 30 and has caused its waters to come out of it, and its pastures, 31 And the mountains, He made them firm, 32 A provision for you and your cattle. 33 Then, when the Great Catastrophe comes 34 on the Day that man remembers what he strove for 35 and the blazing fire [of hell] will be laid open before all who [are destined to] see it. 36 For, unto him who shall have transgressed the bounds of what is right, 37 And preferred the worldly life, 38 Then surely the hell, that is the abode. 39 But he who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained his self from vain desires, 40 Paradise will be the dwelling. 41 They (the disbelievers) ask you regarding the Last Day, as to when is its appointed time. 42 What do you have to do with explaining it? 43 Your Lord alone knows when it will come; 44 You are but a Herald of Warning, for one who fears it. 45 On the Day when they behold it, it will be as if they had lingered but an evening, or, a morning. 46
