In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they cannot agree. 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 cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 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 heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
