In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
