In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
