In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
